I went on the Dream World yesterday and I had a decent session. I planted more berries when I arrived at my island, and then I went to water other people's berries just to get some more points. I added some new Dream Pals, then I went back to my house and I redecorated a bit. I went to the Island of Dreams afterwards and I visited the Dream Park and Sparkling Sea areas a couple of times each and I befriended nine Pokemon in total. I kept a female Plusle since I didn't have one of those, and I signed off after that adventure.

Okay, derp question that I didn't see addressed on the main page (I may have missed it...I tend to suck at finding things like that).

Do you have to interact with/affirm a friend in some way after their ID is in your PalPad in order for their Dream World house and such to show up for you? I added my boyfriend's friend code earlier today, then tucked in my pokemon, and now that I'm in the Dream World I can't see his house or anything on my map (he does have a Dream World account), nor can I interact with his name at all on the website's list of people you've traded with (all that jazz before you enter the dream world; I can't even "EZ Mail" him or anything). Is there something I need to do before I can interact with his stuff at all?

Yep, both of you have to "confirm" each other's FC first. Just do a simple trade with him (like a Bidoof for a Bidoof, for example). That should be enough.

He has to add your FC too, I think... BTW would you like to exchange FC with me?

I read the FAQ and I couldn't find the answer there. I have been trying to up my chances of catching a female Bagon. Is there anything I can do to boost the odds in my favor? I have over 10,000 points but it keeps sending me to everything BUT the rugged mountain area. Also is there still a limit on how many Pokemon you can bring back from the dream world? I read 50 and am concerned because both game packs I own are at about that number caught. sorry if these are derpy questions, I just honestly don't know.

I went on the Dream World on Black version a couple days ago and I visited the Dream Park and Icy Cave areas. Unfortunately, I already owned all of the Pokemon that I befriended, so I ended up keeping a male Gulpin at the Tree of Dreams. I went to my garden to plant some more Spelon, Nomel, Pecha, Leppa, Cheri, Custap and Jaboca Berries and then I watered my Dream Pals' berries for points after visiting their islands. I took some time to decorate my home with some of the new Pokemon Dolls, then I signed off.

if you didn't know, there was an update that gave preference to certain areas when you put different types to sleep. to get to the mountain more often (not all the time) put a fire, fighting, ground, rock, or steel type to sleep. there's no way to force female bagons to show up more often, that still random. there is no longer a limit to how many pokemon you can bring back from the DW, other than the one per day thing...i've personally brought back over 300 on my White file & over 100 on my White 2 file.

I decided that I wanted a Luxray with Guts. Dumb idea. I've now remembered why I hate the Dream World. It's slow as hell (they're called servers, Nintendo. Buy some kthxbye), there's no direct link from the homepage to the island of dreams (which is the only reason anyone would load this site in the first place), and Fennel insists on going through her tutorial. ON EVERY. SINGLE. PAGE.

Fennel will give you the tutorial only if you have at least one of the following things:

- You are using the DW for the first time
- You erased the cookies (Fennel's tutorials are cookies-based)
- You are logging in from a different computer that never has the cookies (therefore this is counted as using the DW for the first time)

Used the DW before, and am using the same laptop as always. I think Firefox may automatically delete cookies after some time, but don't quote me on that.

Hi, i'm quite new to the 5th gen and its dreamworld abilities etc, so i'm wondering if it's possible to tuck in mamoswine with the ability oblivious or snow cloak and get thick fat instead? or is it just an ability obtainable in an old event?

the ability of the Pokemon you are tucking in won't change.

However, tucking in an Ice-Type is a great idea, since it will make you visit Icy Cave more often, and Swinub is available in Icy Cave.

But don't tuck in Mamoswine, as it is part Ground, which gives you a decent chance that you'll visit Rugged Mountain instead. Tuck in a pure Ice-Type, like Cubchoo or Snorunt.
